Khady Update

Hey everyone. Khady's mom, Jan, here. Thank you all sooo much for your thoughts, vibes and prayers. However, things are looking bad. Khady's BUN went up from 75 to 93 and her creatinine went up from 7.9 to over 10. This means the fluids and antibiotics are not working and her kidney's are continuing to fail.

The vet is going to do an ultrasound in the morning to see how her kidney's look, and also check her BUN and creatinine levels again. Basically, what this will tell us is how much time we might have left with her. Only way to know for sure what caused this is to do a biopsy, but I will not put her through that when it will not change the outcome. To say I am devastated would be an understatement.

I did get to go visit her today and spent some time with her. She was extremely excited to see me! She has never spent this much time away from home and I'm sure she is very confused about what is going on. I snapped this picture of her laying on my leg while we had our visit.

We had a nice hour and a half visit and then I went home for a while so she could get back on her IV fluids. I did go back about 45 minutes before the office closed and took in her favorite blankie that she always lays on when she is on her spot on the couch and her most favorite toy - her squeaka ball! I put the blankie on the floor and lay down with her and we just snuggled together until closing time. Leaving her there again was so difficult. But, I know that is where she needs to be so she can continue to get her fluids. I am so hoping for a miracle and will continue to pray for her.

And, thank you so much to all of you who are continuing to pray for her too. You have no idea how very much it means to us both!

Praying that God will spare her. We lost our Missy back in August of this year and Beth lost her Montana this month. I don't know you personally but please give you sweet baby a hug & kiss from the Wolford clan in Hertford, NC.

I'm glad she was in good spirits and happy to see you. Such a beautiful girl is no doubt getting lots of special attention from the staff. Try to get some rest for yourself. This is just almost too much for you to have to bear.

Omg. I'm so sorry the news isn't better. I'm praying for you guys - you've been through too much lately and Khady Lynn is much too young to have any issues. You're absolutely in my thoughts and prayers.

You are very much in our thoughts. My last dog had kidney failure from cogestive heart failure and spent two days on IV fluids. I thought for sure after the first day it was grim but he mad a miraculoous recovery after 2days of fluids. Keep the faith.Debi and norwood

Khady we are all praying for you. We are starting a Paw Circle of Healing for you on our Facebook page and Twitter so we can all join together around the globe and send prayers and well wishes your way so you can be back to bouncy Khady soon! Husky hugs x 5 (and a hu-mom) coming your way, sweet girl.

OMD. We're devestated. This is so sad. Juno went through a similar scary infection at that age and was hospitalized for so long for it. but it wasnt' kidneys. Even so, I'm sure i can't imagine your pain and confusion. I'm praying for a miracle for her.

Just stopping back again this morning to let you know you and Khady are on our minds and in our hearts as we all continue to hope for that miracle. We are so encouraged by what Norwood posted above. Hugs to you from all of us.

We are checking back in on you Khady and family...we are thinking of you and hoping and praying that you are feeling better and stronger today. Husky hugs to you, girl. PS - the #Pawcircle of healing has begun for you and so many folks & furpals are sending you all positive vibes, prayers, and wishes.♡

Hi Jan and Khady - I heard about this from Mango's blog and had to come over and tell you how sorry i am about this desperate situation. It breaks my heart to see your dog so ill. I have an almost 3 year old chocolate lab named Indy "Bones" Taylor - he is the love of my life. I know none of us can do anything to help except pray and hope for the best. Sending you all prayers from our little corner of the world (Baltimore MD).
